Three major controversies were identified and recommendations put forth for their resolution. The controversies are: Differences in expectations concerning both the allocating of technology resources and the nature of the technology product; divided opinion on how much testing and design-to-cost is appropriate for technology; divided opinion on the program office's limitations for incorporating technology products.
